What does the skin on your face, neck, chest, and hands reveal about you? Will the fine lines, brown spots (age spots), large veins on the hands, and sagging jowls and neck portray you as tired, withered, and older than you are? Consider a painless and no-downtime cosmetic procedure to reduce your aging, sun-damaged, and sagging facial skin and eliminate brown spots. Allow Dr. Handler to evaluate and personally recommend a skin-rejuvenation program for you to reduce the signs of aging. Rejuvenate your skin and look as young as you feel.
Dr. Handler personally performs many anti-aging procedures that are “non-invasive” with minimal discomfort or downtime. You can minimize under-eye darkening, puffiness, and wrinkling, and raise those droopy eyelids, shrink pores, lift sagging jowl areas, and appear as youthful as you feel.
The NEW Thermage CPT Deep Tip procedure painlessly heats sun-damaged collagen under your skin to tighten and lift sagging areas of the neck, jowls, and upper arms. The Thermage procedure is frequently known as the “lunch time face lift” due to its short, one-hour treatment time. This painless procedure is excellent for improving cellulite (a normal development due to estrogen) and improving the appearance of a “crepe” abdomen and reducing the “ handles” in men. The NEW Thermage CPT Deep Tip procedure utilizes radiofrequency energy to stimulate a natural repair process with your own collagen that results in further tightening, lifting, and younger-looking skin. With only ONE treatment, many patients see results before leaving the office. Continued tightening and lifting of sagging skin occurs over a 6-month time period with results lasting to 2-3 years! There is NO downtime and NO pain. The NEW Thermage CPT Deep Tip system has been utilized by Dr. Handler for many years with excellent results and very satisfied patients.
For lines between the eyes (worry lines, 11’s, ski slopes), crow’s feet, and the “sleepy and tired look with droopy eyelids,” the use of Botox or Dysport works great to improve these areas. The results are diminished lines and a more “wide-awake” and less tired appearance, and one treatment can last 7-12 months or longer! Dysport and Botox are also used to reduce excessive underarm sweating with associated embarrassment and anxiety. One treatment can result in 80-90% less sweating and lasts 6-8 months.
The use of fillers, such as the Restylane family, Juvederm, Radiesse, and others, to “fill” deep smile lines and the marionette lines (the sad look) from the corners of the mouth produces immediate results lasting 12-15 months! Don’t look tired or sad when you are not! Since these products are combined with a numbing agent, the pain is minimal. These products markedly improve upper and lower lip lines (lipstick lines) and volumize your lips to restore their youthful curve while looking attractive and natural. Other than mild and short-lived bruising, there is no downtime with these noninvasive procedures. These products also improve the depression and hollowness under your eyes that causes darkening and “bags” to be much less obvious.
Do you want to reduce fine lines, acne scars, and age spots (brown spots from sun exposure) and shrink pores? Then the non-invasive Clear and Brilliant laser is for you. When the Clear and Brilliant laser is combined with Thermage CPT Deep Tip, the results are ideal for patients who desire no downtime or pain and predictable results of lifting sagging skin and smoothing fine lines and shrinking large pores. Dr. Handler is the only dermatologist in northwest Ohio performing this procedure.
What about annoying hair growth where you do not desire it!? Dr. Handler personally performs laser procedures for removal of body hair from many areas of the body. This minimally painful laser destroys hairs around the chin, jawline, upper lip, underarms, legs, ears, bikini line, etc. Many women are now having laser hair removal at a younger age and thereby eliminating the need for shaving with resulting shaving nicks and irritation. And this laser is not just for women. Many men have this laser procedure performed to permanently remove hair from the chest and back.
Dr. Handler also utilizes the latest in lasers for removal of “age spots” (sun spots really) anywhere on the body and removal of unwanted blood vessels from the legs and those that grow on your face and enlarge with heat, stress, and the intake of alcohol. As with all of these non-invasive procedures, pain and downtime are minimal.
Anti-aging and cosmetic enhancements are not for any specific gender. Male cosmetic enhancement and anti-aging procedures have increased almost 300% in the past 5 years for sagging skin, darkening under the eyes with the “hollow” look, and brown spots. The utilization of fillers, such as Restylane and its family of fillers and Juvederm, Radiesse, etc., is excellent for deep smile lines and the “sad and tired look” as evidenced with sagging at the corners of the mouth, hollow cheeks, and aging of the hands with prominent veins.
All of these cosmetic enhancements are performed solely by Dr. Handler.

For more detailed information about the above-mentioned procedures or products as well as specials during the year, please call Dr. Handler’s office at 419-885- 3400. Look as young as you feel!
HAIR LOSS IN MEN AND WOMEN
Are you losing hair from surgery, anesthesia, illnesses, pregnancy, medications, stress (COVID hair loss), genetics, or “normal” hair loss secondary to aging or low blood levels of nutrients? There are many causes of hair loss in men and women. Most are not simply due to age or family history, and most are treatable. Dr. Harvey Handler, board-certified dermatologist in Sylvania, Ohio, utilizes proven medical treatments for decreasing your hair loss and increasing growth in many patients!
Pediatric skin disease diagnosis and treatment is one of Dr. Handler’s special fields in general Dermatology. Age of the child is not relevant since Dr. Handler diagnoses and treats eczema, hemangiomas, contact and allergic dermatitis, and general “lumps and bumps” that children and infants develop. What about “birth marks,” scalp and body “ringworm,” body and head lice, scabies, and psoriasis? If there is a lesion or spot on the skin, Dr. Handler is trained to examine, diagnose, and treat it appropriately.
Also, everyone should have a yearly full-body exam to check for skin cancer, changing moles, and new growths that develop on our bodies. This comprehensive exam should be conducted solely by a board-certified dermatologist. Dr. Handler has an innovative medical device that evaluates changing moles. The use of this device with a trained eye and experience assists in determining whether a biopsy may be needed.
